salaam rally Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Last week we discussed what happened after the battle occurred.
How the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam ordered his companions to chase after the enemy the next day.
And how they responded to that positively, and how a lot of praise them in the Quran, which is
related to that incident.
Then we looked at some
remaining scenes of the battle like
good and bad endings,
the role of the women
and some of the miracles that had occurred in that battle.
Now, unlike any other battle that the Prophet sallallahu Sallam fought,
the Battle of ocean
will always remain as
the one that teaches the ummah.
So many different lessons.
And so it is
a treasure trove of lessons.
And that's why the Scholars
whenever they talk about the battle, they always mention
a list of lessons that can be drawn from it. So it Blanca here. He lists many of them in his famous book Zadran mad
and so what we're gonna do today inshallah Metalla is that we're gonna go through as many lessons as we can, and even then we wouldn't be doing justice to this topic, there will be there would be so many lessons that we wouldn't be able to mention and cover.
Now most of the lessons
that we will mention,
are actually in light of what Allah has mentioned in the Quran.
And so we mentioned previously that the battle of better after the Battle of better Allah revealed Surah to exile.
And after the Battle of Allah revealed
so many as from Surah, earlier Imran.
More than 60 ayat of the surah
are in relation to the barrel of oil.
So, let us go through the lessons that we learn from this battle.
The first is the importance of studying history.
Allah subhanho wa Taala Allah says
in surah Ali Imran verse 137, called the harlot mean cuddly come soon and
fussy you Phil only. Samburu kafer can now be able to look at dB.
Similar situations have come to pass before you
was talking about the battles are heard
saying to the believers, that will happen to you on this day. Similarly,
similar situations took place with the believers before you
and with the disbelievers, the nations of the past. And then Allah says to travel throughout the land and see the fate of the deniers.
We can't believe in history if we don't believe
in the validity of the rule of cause and effect.
We have to believe that
causes do lead to certain
results.
And so if that is not the case, then there are
no benefit in studying history.
Because when we study history, we are actually looking at
causes that lead to certain results.
And these causes
and their subsequent results
are the laws of Allah
that govern us human beings,
which is why Allah refers to them as soon as
the plural of sunnah.
So the Sooners of Allah,
with respect to us human beings,
you act a certain way,
then you will see a certain result.
And so, we need to look at what happened
to the believers in the in the previous nations
and compare them with the kuffar
of those nations, and then learn lessons from them.
And so that is what Allah is telling us in this if
he's telling us that we need to study history to learn lessons.
So that is the purpose of studying history. And
that's the reason why Allah
mentioned so many stories in the Quran.
The purpose behind it is to learn lessons from them, not for the sake of entertainment.
We don't read history,
for fun to enjoy the stories, but rather, to learn the lessons from now.
And when we look at the story of the battle the word
as we mentioned,
we derive so many lessons from
number two
a question that
has always remained
on the minds of many is
about the Battle of word.
Was this battle,
a victory for courage and,
and a defeat for the Muslims?
There's no doubt that initially,
the Muslims were victorious. And we mentioned this.
In fact, even Abbas radula, Hanuman, he says, Allah did not give victory to his messenger like he did on the day of awkward.
So
the people they started to object or they said, How could you say that? We all know that this was a defeat.
So he said, between me and those who deny it, is the book of Allah.
Allah says, The Day of what are called sadhaka como la Hua, it will soon be
in Surah, Allah Allah, Allah says, and Allah had certainly fulfilled his promise to you, when you were killing them, slaughtering them by his permission.
And so
that was a victory. And they started to retreat, as we know.
But then the tides turn.
And we know the eventual outcome. So the question now is
was this a victory for Koresh
and a defeat for the Muslims?
To answer that question, we need to know what the objectives of the war was.
What were the objectives of this war?
And then we need to see where those objectives fulfilled.
Because a victory is only a victory when you achieve your objectives.
And we say that was not the case.
Because Quraysh had come out to annihilate themselves once and for a while.
And that didn't happen, but rather, they ended up going back to
if they had returned like a booster
If you're wanting to do
and then let's say for argument's sake, they came back and they destroyed the Muslims, then we say yes, it was a clear victory for them.
And so we say this was not a victory for Quraysh.
Nor was it a clear defeat for the Muslims. Yes, they suffered a loss.
They suffered many casualties. But we don't say that they suffered a defeat.
And so likewise, in all wars and battles that the Muslims fight,
like in the present situation,
when we look at what's happening in Palestine, even though they have suffered huge amounts of losses, we don't say that they have been defeated.
They will only be defeated.
If
you know the enemy is able to put an end to the resistance.
As long as there is resistance,
then an enemy has not achieved a victory, nor had the Muslims be defeated.
Number three,
Do not be overcome with defeat when suffering a loss.
Allah Subhana Allah Allah says,
in Surah Ali Imran verse 130 Night, well after he knew what had to happen weren't
in control, meaning, do not become weak, to filter, do not grieve, for you will have the upper hand if you are indeed believers.
So this was revealed after the battle was offered, when the spirits of the Muslims were alone.
Allah is telling the Muslims not to weaken,
not to grieve, and that if they are true believers, then victory is wisdom.
And then Allah subhanho wa Taala says, in such conclusion, for call Jameson from Metro, if you have suffered injuries,
they the enemy have also suffered likewise.
And since and so since there are more Rao was down because of what happened to them in the battlefield,
Allah was now telling them that what happened to you in a puddle of should also happen to Quraysh in the battle.
If you are suffering wounds, now,
the suffered wounds then
also,
if their loss at better, did not prevent them from coming back to fighting or hurt, then the wounds of the Muslims app should not prevent the Muslims from carrying on the fight either.
So Allah is telling the Muslims not to give up.
Their spirits must remain high.
If some of the Muslims are killed,
then be patient remain steadfast
don't give up
in fact,
when we see what the enemy is doing today, in Palestine, how they are in indiscriminately targeting the civilians and the innocent Muslims.
The purpose behind that
is to bring down the morale of the resistance
they want these people to give up fighting
so that is one of the reasons why they're doing what they're doing.
They want them to give up
and so they require reminders like this.
Allah is telling the believers
do not weaken. Yes, you suffered injuries casualties. It was terrible. But you have to keep your spirits high and you need me to continue. And then Allah says
what till can uh, yeah muda we do have a nurse
and we alternate the days
meaning the days of victory and defeat. We alternate them among the people. So one day Quraysh wins. And one day the Muslims
that is how it is in this dunya winning and losing it
As part of life,
Ibrahim, he says, It was the wisdom of Allah and His way with his prophets and their followers that
they would want to win, and once lose, but in the end, they are victorious.
So the end result is that Islam will win. However, until we reach that stage, there will always be a win lose situation.
Then he says,
if the believers always win,
then others will join them.
And then it wouldn't be clear who the believers are
and who are not.
And so to distinguish between the believers,
and the kuffaar, or the opportunists, there needs to be these alternating conditions between the truth and falsehood.
If there wasn't such a situation, then
if the muscles were always winning,
then people would join
only for worldly reasons.
And then he says, and if the Muslims are always losing,
then the objective of sending the prophets will not be fulfilled.
Meaning
the objective behind why Allah sent the prophets
was for Islam to spread throughout the world.
So if the Muslims never win, then that objective cannot be fulfilled.
And so
it's not be fitting that we should always be winning, nor edit nor is it the fitting that we should always be losing.
And so
the losing phase that separates the true believers
from the others, and the winning phase that spreads the deen of Allah subhana wa Tada.
Number four
Why does Allah subhanho wa Taala high to allow the Muslims to suffer?
Why didn't Allah subhanaw taala
allow them to be victorious.
Okay, we understand why,
as we mentioned, but why so much bloodshed? Why so many casualties?
Why so much loss of life?
And as we reflect over this,
we should reflect over what's happening right now.
So there are some Muslims out there who are wondering,
why does Allah subhanho wa Taala allow this to happen to to the believers?
And so there are so many reasons why Allah allows the believers to suffer loss like they did on the day of Watford. And so Allah mentioned these reasons in these items Surah Ali, and so let's see what Allah says.
After mentioning, what typical a Yamanaka will have been and as we continue on from there, Allah says, Well, yeah, LM Allah who led ina M and what does that mean? Come Shuhada Allahu Allah, you had the volume in so that Allah may reveal
the true believers and choose Shahadat, choose martyrs from among you. And Allah does not like the wrongdoers What do you must face Allah Who let in Amman William alcohol caffeine, and that he may purify the true believers and destroy the kuffar
um has ever done unto the halogen Netta Allah may Allah Milla Hulan Elijah had to make them why I never saw the room. Do you think that you're going to enter agenda without Allah seeing which of you fought for his sake and patiently endured?
So here Allah subhana one with the high dimensions.
Five reasons for why he allowed what he allowed to happen on the day of record.
The first
is to make evident the true believers. As we mentioned before,
the true test of Eman is the battlefield
that
is a true test. And that is where
the fakeness shoulders
as we saw
before the DoD will even begin. A third of the army defected.
And they were the one I feel the hypocrites.
So Allah is saying that he wanted to separate the believers from the munafo. Well, yeah, lemon Medina
and then
and then the second with tequila mean cultural adept.
The second to choose from among the believers, martyrs. Even acclaim says a shahada martyrdom is among the highest levels in the sight of Allah.
And the martyrs are the ones whom Allah drives closer to him.
And then he says,
How can there be martyrs, if Allah doesn't allow the enemy to kill some of the Muslims?
So if shahada is such a high status, then how are we going to achieve it?
The only way to achieve it is for Allah to allow the enemy to kill some of the believers.
The third, while you might think, so, law will let you know
to purify the believers, through such tests,
even a claim, he says,
Allah loves some of his servants so much, that he reserves for them high places in general.
However, the deeds of the servant are not sufficient enough to take him up to that level.
So how can a person achieve it?
It is by Allah making such people to go through the trials of this dunya by suffering, hardship, and pain. And that is how this person status can be resilient
as a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam metric
that no pain and suffering touches the believer except that so many things happen as a result, your sins are forgiven.
And you raise
you elevate yourself you are rising in ranks.
And so Allah subhanahu wa Tada loved these companions so much, but because their deeds were not sufficient enough to take them to that level
that Allah had reserved for them. Allah made them go through the pain, the hardship, the injury, and the suffering
that they went through
and so it will take them says that it is
a purification process.
Whenever you go through a hardship
for example, when you fall ill you're being purified
that's why we say to the to the sick and the ill person now that's the whole inshallah
it is a purification for you.
The fourth
way um, how caffeine
to destroy the disbelievers. And so, if Allah loves some so much, that he hates others a lot.
So, Allah dislikes some of the kuffaar so much
that he has reserved a place for them in the hellfire.
So here Allah is telling us
that he allowed the suffering on the day of Oxford
for it to be a means of punishing these kofod.
So the fact that the kuffaar incurred so much loss and suffering upon the Muslims, this is actually
a means for their destruction in the future.
Imagine for for Ibn Camilla, the one who had injured the Prophet so the loved one how do you say no?
Does he think that that was something good for him?
Is that something to be happy over?
Likewise,
what they're doing to Muslims today
they rejoicing but is that something for them to be rejoicing over
that is the worst thing that can ever happen to them in their lives for them to target Muslims like
for that man to target the Prophet salAllahu alayhi wasallam and injure him. It was the worst thing to happen for to happen in his life.
And because of it
because of it
they're gonna land where they're gonna land.
If
if they had not done it,
then how would Allah be just in punishing them?
It was all a preparation for their punishment as Allah says.
When I said in the Latina CAFO and no man I'm Lila homeboy Yoli unfussy him in Mr. Nan de la only as the two men one of whom,
again surah Allah. Allah says, Those who disbelieve and the enemies of Allah should not think that Allah extending their time for them in the dunya
is any good for them?
And we also wonder,
why is Allah not punishing them? Why? Why is Allah not
you know, putting an end to their tyranny.
Allah says here,
they are only given more time
to increase in sin.
And they will suffer a humiliating punishment. So when we see that certain Kfar nations have a free rein to do whatever they want,
to the Muslims, to kill them, to harass them, to torture them, to throw them into prisons, without any charges,
we should stop and think
is that something good for them.
And so the reality is that it is a sign
of Allah's wrath that's going to descend upon them.
And you know, what awaits for them in Africa. And so Allah gives these tyrants chances in the dunya.
So that they could rightfully be put where they will be put in the hellfire. And so Allah is building a case against them, by which they'll have no way of escaping on the day of judgment, and they won't have any way of defending themselves.
If they had not done any of this,
then they could perhaps, you know, have a case or justification.
The fifth reason why Allah allows us suffering, Allah says, I'm Huseby to them and to the full agenda. Well, Allah, may Allah Milam that Elijah had a miracle. Why Masabi here Allah is telling the Muslims don't think
that you can make it to Jannah without fighting jihad in his cause. You have to go through the stages.
You cannot claim your place in Jannah. without
going through the hardship and the struggles,
and consequently it will show in your solver, your patience.
And so that's why Allah combines between Jihad and Sauber here in this area.
And so Islam is not a mystic religion,
where you just do certain
acts of worship certain rituals.
And that's it, you know, you guarantee resolve genuine,
Allah will test us in the field.
And so Allah has some serious demands from us, because He will then give us gender in return.
That's a Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa salam says,
Allah in the Scylla to La Jolla.
That the product of Allah that he is offering to sell to us is extremely expensive. And in Silla to loyal Jen, that product of Allah is genuine.
And Allah has told us
in Surah to tell them
how he has bought and purchased
the lives of son
for for that reward for gym in a lush dot all we need
was purchased from the believers. Their lives in exchange for check
in the next week,
Allah subhanho wa Taala says what occurred you couldn't come to an unknown and know Tamil cobbly and telco for cultural aid to move over into a room,
you certainly wished for the opportunity for shahada
for dying in the path of Allah before you encountered it.
Now you have seen it with your own eyes.
Here Allah is talking about
the Sahaba, who could not make it for the battle of better, they missed out.
It's all these companions were
waiting for an opportunity like this.
Because they also wanted
shahada
in the path of Allah.
But these are mere wishes.
It is something that was in their hearts.
And so it means you can have the intention. But now, the question is, is your intention real? So Allah is saying here
that actual fighting was necessary to verify whether your your wishes and desires are true or not.
Maybe some of them weren't sure
what they wanted until they actually got on to the battlefield.
And then maybe when they saw the fighting in the blood, in front of their own eyes, maybe they will change their minds.
And so likewise, many of us we may have that intention in our heart to be a shahid but does that mean that when we see the opportunity, we would actually make an effort to fulfill the intention.
So this is something that only Allah knows. And that is why Allah brought such situations to make evident of what was in their hearts.
As Allah mentions, in this if
we continue on
to the next lesson
the consequences
of disobedience.
Disobeying the messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wasallam
is a grave sin
and that is why the Muslims suffered.
The way they suffered in the Battle of a heart.
Allah subhanahu Italie says
Yeah, you heard Adina am and I'll clear Allah, what a three year old Rasul Allah what will Emery welcome?
Oh, you will believe
obey Allah and obey the messenger. And those in authority over
the internet. Zack don't fish in Florida who eat Allah He was really in control to be lucky while you're here.
Should you disagree on something,
then refer it back to Allah and His Messenger, if you truly believe in Allah, and the last thing
and so here Allah was addressing
the believers, who were there with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he was alive,
obey Allah and will be His Messenger, and those in authority over you. And then if you differ over something,
take it back to Allah and His messenger.
So when they were different over something, they would go to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and help him to resolve it for them. Allah is commanding them to do this.
After the death of Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wasallam. If we now dispute over something, we need to take it back to Allah and His messenger. That is by taking it back to the Quran, and the Sunnah. And so that is
our reference, as Muslims.
It's all from the battle of Oxford, we can see
the danger
of disobeying the instructions of Rasulullah sallallahu it yourself.
He gave them clear orders
not to move from their positions, the archers were positioned on the hill.
And so what happened? They didn't listen to him.
And they came down
and the results was what it was.
But this is one small disobedience.
They made a mistake.
How about us?
And the major forms of disobedience, we show
to the orders of Rasulullah, sallAllahu, alayhi wasallam in our lives,
do we think
that the result will be okay.
Imagine
if the Companions obeyed one simple order. they disobeyed one simple order of the process.
And it caused the devastating result that it caused.
Then do we think that by constantly disobeying
what the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam has left us with that,
you know, it's somehow going to be okay with us without any devastating
results. So this is nothing for us to ponder over.
Number six
whatever calamities befall us,
we are the ones who bring it upon our own selves.
So this is an extension of the last lesson
of disobeying the prophets on Allahu Allah Himself.
And so Allah tells us
that the suffering, the experience it was because of their own actions. It was because of their disobedience. Allah subhanahu catalysis
sort of early on Ron verse 165.
Elijah Moussa bet to Kumasi but don't call that Asante to me midlayer call to Edna Harada Kulu Amina Andy and fusi come in the water and a coalition.
Allah says why is it that when you suffered casualties, meaning on the day of offered,
although you had made your enemy suffered twice as much meaning
in the Battle of better,
then you asked
How could this be
the companions the cause, way more casualties among Quraysh in Belgium?
Then what happened to them on the Day of offered?
And then when it happened on the day of
they asked, How could this be? Why were we not victorious?
So Allah says, say, oh Mohamed,
who Amina India,
it is from your own cells.
You know, why are you asking? You know, why are you putting the blame on Allah? Why are you saying, Oh Allah, why did you cause us, you know, this loss, Allah is saying, say to them, it is as a result of your own actions.
Indeed, Allah is most capable of doing everything meaning.
Allah is the most powerful, he could have given you victory. But a condition of victory was missing. So that's why I did not do it.
And so, sometimes,
we wonder, why our lives take
a nasty turn, why we suffer different kinds of problems in our lives.
Some, they tend to put the blame on Allah.
And so here Allah is reminding us, that we are the ones who bring these problems upon our own selves.
Number seven,
preferring this dunya over the alpha.
This was
the reason for disobeying the command of the prophets on the laden and it yourself as Allah highlighted
in these ayat, and so in
verse 152, of Surah, Al Anon Allah says, mean Khamenei read dunya Amin Khomeini riddle.
Some of you were after the dunya worldly gain, the spoils of war that you saw,
and others they desired. The Alpha
meaning those companions who remained position on the hill and did not go down even though it was tempting
for them, you know, they had their sights on the reward of Allah
And the story of our old man
with the spoils of war
is a very sad one.
It started in the Battle of bedroom.
Right?
We spoke about this, when Allah revealed surah. And in fact, Surah Al empfang talks about the spoils of war. That's the meaning of attack.
And we mentioned
that robotic anisometropic law and he said, these ayat were revealed because we the Sahaba, disputed over the spoils of war, and our
our clock will not appropriate,
started fighting over who deserves this, this wealth.
And then, in the Battle of boyhood, it was the spoils of war. That was the reason for these archers to come down from their positions. And so they were eager, when they saw the Muslims were winning now. And they're collecting the spoils of war and they wanted to join in. So they were humbled for the dunya.
And this problem persisted in every generation after that,
yes, there were some Muslims who learned the lesson.
But then, many did not.
Take one example.
What stopped the Muslim conquest
from continuing in Western Europe.
It was the spoils of war.
We all know that the Muslims they conquered. And Delos Spain.
And so when they entered
their commander, under man,
I love I love up
was their commander. And he kept on advancing, he didn't stop.
He kept on going.
Until he was leading the Muslims now into France.
It's all like this succeeded in conquering almost two thirds of France.
And they were now only 100 kilometers away from Paris.
They were about to run over France.
But by now, as they're moving forward, their army is just constantly moving forward, what's happening?
As they're advancing,
all of these spoils of war are coming in their hands,
entire cities and towns with their treasures and
and they're taking the women as captives.
And so
the soldiers are now starting to get distracted.
And so instead of thinking about the enemy, they're now thinking about their share
in the spoils of war, and so that is what we can.
And so it was
it was at this point that they suffered a major loss.
And it was known as the lowest What
ballarpur Shuhada.
The Court of martyrs
and it was given this name because of the huge amount
of Muslims that were killed.
And among them was their commander of the Roman law fiddly himself.
And that marked the end of the Muslim advance in Western Europe. From there on, it was retreat upon retreat, they just kept on going backwards.
Even though it was gradual.
You know, it took about
800 years
before they were eventually forced out of Spain.
But although it was slow,
slowly but surely,
you know, they retreated until they lost an endless and so the turning point was what the turning point was due to greed for liberty.
Now I'm delighted when Mr. O'Donnell the alarm rang. He says
I did not know that there was among us
The Companions of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, people who prefer the dunya over to Africa.
So he was referred to this verse, where Allah says, men coming up to dunya women come when you read it.
among you are those who desire the dunya. And among you are those who desire to accurate. Who is Allah talking about here? He's talking about the believers, the Muslims, he's not talking about them when I feel good.
And so,
this tells us how
Jihad FISA Villa exposes so many things,
which would never have been discovered otherwise.
We know about that concerning them when I feel good.
There will be no way for us to know what is in their hearts except difficult circumstances like these, but also the believers.
Number eight
we should hold on fast to our deen
it's a win the rumors had spread that Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was killed.
Some of the Muslims were psychologically defeated.
And we mentioned this previously.
When these rumors started to be spread, a group of the Muslims they started to retreat. And they said that's it.
It's done and overwhelmed. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is dead.
The deen
is over with
and now we should go to Abdullah it will be
the leader of the McAfee goon. Perhaps he can help us
in finding a peace treaty, a truce with Quraysh.
And so Allah subhanahu wa taala teaches us a lesson here.
Allah subhanho wa Taala says, We sorted out Emraan verse 144
Well then we'll have middle Illa rasuluh Katakana Tamil Kadri Rousseau
other in Mata
o quoted in collab to Milan are called become Armenian colleague Anna hoppy he fell in your loop Rolla Hersha
Casa de la Shakira
Muhammad is no more than a messenger.
Other messengers have gone before him.
If he were to die, or to be killed, would you then go back to cover?
Those who do so will not harm Allah whatsoever. And Allah will reward those who are grateful.
So Allah tells them assumes that there have been messengers before Hamlet's on a long ride that you will sell them and they are now dead.
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is like all of them.
And he too will die just like they died.
Allah then questions and Muslims will they turn to cover after the death of Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam just because Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has died, it doesn't mean that we have to give up
what he has left us with.
And so what we learned from this is
that Islam does not depend on personalities.
The fate of this religion does not
hinge on any person
or in fact any movement.
Even if that person is the greatest
as in the example of Mohamed salah, Lagna it was syndrome.
Allah is telling us here that if
let's say that he was killed
does it mean that we're now going to abandon
the mission that he left us with?
And so there are some they do think this way. They think that if such and such person is killed,
the advance of Islam will stop.
And so victory is not dependent on any leader
no matter how great he may be.
And that's why aroma ribbon tabula right?
He wanted to teach the Muslims this very lesson.
Who was the commander of the Muslim armies in his type Khalid? Elite Radiohead.
Remember we will have Bob Rhodiola who had he fired Khalid Eman will eat from his
post as a general of was more,
he fired.
Why? Because he didn't want people to think
that we are victorious because of him.
He wanted the Muslims to put their trust back in Allah. The victory is from Allah.
And so likewise, we should not
depend on any particular leader. We shouldn't wait, as some Muslims do today. Oh, we're waiting for the Mati. When he comes, then we're going to fight
nor should we put our
all our hopes in,
you know, certain
countries,
certain Muslim countries, or their armies know,
the victory. If it comes, it will come from Allah.
It will take him he says
it was a preparation for the most catastrophic event that would ever happen to the Muslims.
This event was so great that the Muslims needed to go through some sort of training
to be prepared for it.
And this event was
the death of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was everything for the sahaba.
He is the one who brought them out
of darkness into light.
He was their source of Islam.
They didn't have books or the Internet to teach them about Islam.
So for them,
to lose him
was a great shock. It was a setback.
And it could have also caused a psychological effect
as it did for a group among them
on that day that they have offered.
But now Allah allow this to happen. And Allah allowed these rumors to be spread, that Mohammed has been killed in order to train the companions to train them. For for
that day, when the Prophet SAW Selim eventually does end up passing away.
And so that's why Allah says this year
in this idea, that Muhammad is not but a messenger, other messengers have passed on before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you then turn back
and that is why Abu Bakar all day long right?
After the death of Rasulullah sallallahu Sallam when some
were in a state of shock, and they couldn't believe it, that he had died. He said to the people,
whoever among you, worshipping, worships Muhammad, then let him know that Muhammad is dead, but whoever worships Allah, that Allah is alive and never dies.
Number nine.
There are some who put the blame for the death of Muslims on the Mujahideen
and ALLAH SubhanA, WA Tada. Talks about this, in these verses of Surah, Allah Allah.
Allah says,
in Verse 154.
What if I told God that I have met him and Fuso whom YOLO noon at the lair? He lived on healthy one night
while others were disturbed by evil thoughts of Oh Allah,
the thoughts of the days of Jaya Helia
who is talking about here?
The moon I feel good.
Now to Luna Helena, Amina and embodiment che. They ask, Do we have any say in the matter?
Remember in the beginning of the battle
they had preferred that we stay here in Medina when the Prophet also consulted the Companions
asking what should we do? The winner of the goon they said we should stay here and wait for the enemy to come here.
They didn't want to go. So they're asking Do we have any say in the matter? Allah says, Call in Umrah Kula hula,
say Oh, Mohammed, all matters are destined by Allah
Your cool nephew and fusi him mad as we'll be doing like they conceal in their hearts. What they do not reveal to you
you're cool Luna lo cannula nominal Emery show you oh now Cuttino Hoonah
they say
these hypocrites they say
if we had any say in the matter
none of us would have come to die here today.
Meaning if Mohammed Al Salam had listened to us, today we will not have suffered so many casualties.
Allah goes on to say good local to feeble you take on labor Rosalina cootie Valley human Katroo de la mala G him worrier bitterly Allahu mafioso Dori como yo machine so Matthew Kullu become wala Hua Allah even be that also do Allah says, say oh Hamlet,
even if you were to remain in your homes, those among you who are destined to be killed, would have met the same fate.
Through this, Allah tests, what is it within you? And he purifies what is in your hearts. And Allah knows best? What is hidden in the heart.
So the Munna for your own will say, today, as they said
1400 years ago,
they will say why are the Muslims getting themselves into trouble?
Why are the Muslims
attacking the enemy?
Allah is saying here that you were not killed on this day.
Because you thought in jihad.
It was a time of death that had come for these Shahada.
And even if they had not come out, if they had remained in their homes,
the ones whom Allah had destined for them to die, they would have died.
So the people who blame the death of Muslims today
on the Mujahideen
are wrong.
Like those who are saying today,
in the current events that we are witnessing, that if only Hamas had not initiated
the attack.
The innocent lives will not have gone to waste.
The Muslims would not have been slaughtered the way they are being slaughtered today.
And so these people are only following in the footsteps of those who don't have your code. So Allah is teaching us a lesson here that when it comes to death,
it is the decree of Allah.
That people will die. Whenever the time comes.
It doesn't make a difference, whether you go out or you stay at home.
It doesn't make a difference. Whether the Muslims fight or they don't fight.
You will die when Allah wills. And so here Allah is saying to these wounds of your own, do not blame the Battle of ocean for the deaths of the Muslims who died in
number 10.
Treating mistakes
How did Allah treat
the mistakes of the companions?
Allah never praised the Muslims for their victory.
Even after better
there was no verse in the Quran, in which Allah praised the Muslims for their efforts.
In fact, Allah said contrary to that, What did Allah say, in reference to the battle letter? And even this is
in surah, Allah Emraan wa Magi Allahu Allahu il Bush Rolla Khan, while he touched on that in Nakuru been condemned.
Allah made this meaning the reinforcement of the angels in the Battle of Godot. Allah says he only made it as good news for you and reassurance for your hearts. Woman nostru il laminine de la Hill Aziz al Hakim and victory is only from Allah, the Almighty the wise.
So Allah did not give the Muslims credit for the battle a bit better.
So this tells us something
after the battle
Did
Allah wanted to clean the hearts of the Muslims?
From all kinds of evil diseases of the heart,
like pride
and arrogance.
Because this is a common trait
among
victorious or needs,
they celebrate attributing the victory to themselves. And then what happens?
They become tyrannical.
That arrogance fills their hearts. And so Allah reminded the Muslims, that no,
it's not because you did anything. But it's because
Allah Who gave you this victory, Allah attributes the victory to himself.
While in the Battle of ocean,
what would you expect?
You would expect a lot to reprimand
the muscles to blame them for what they did, right?
But he did.
Remember,
the Muslims were distressed
and their morale was down.
So instead of causing them more anguish,
by blaming them, Allah instead
lifted up their spirits by comforting them and telling them that Allah has forgiven you
know, Muslims had committed a sin
by disobeying the Prophet sallallahu manual so we're coming down from that hill
and they committed a sin by being hungry for the dunya but in the end, what does Allah told them?
That he has forgiven them? Allah says when I consider kakula Who are the WHO IS THE who soon are going to be
had either for shield to Martinez or Tom Phil Emery what else we told him that rock metal bowl
been coming up to dunya have been coming up don't ask you so much. sarafa Kumar, I'm home Lea Metalia con wala a quite a high fan.
Although do football in Ireland, meaning, Allah says
that after the initial victory, then your courage weakened. And you start to dispute about the command and disobeyed the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, after he had shown you that what you love the spoils of war. Some of you were after the dunya while others wanted to ask Allah.
Allah says that he turned you back from them, meaning your enemy.
He did not give you victory over them so that he may test you. But then Allah concludes by saying one aka the Ifat
Yet Allah has pardoned you He has forgiven you. And the Lord is gracious to the believers.
So the lesson we learned from this
is
that this is how Allah treat treated them for doing what they did. And so this is how we also must be
always pardoning and forgiving others when someone makes a mistake. Even if he is sinful and wrong. We shouldn't add to the problem by reprimanding him and blaming him that if you hadn't done this, it wouldn't have happened like this.
As long as the person is regretful and they repent.
So this is how a light treated mistake.
How did Rasul Allah He said Allah Allah He also deal with it.
Allah tells us how he dealt with
Allah says,
For the mouth meant to mean Allah He didn't and
when I couldn't afford one early he was on call billon for booming
for everyone. We still feel low. We're shy, we're hopeful number for either as interfaith Okinawa in Allah, you will want our killing. Allah says, All Muhammad, it is out of Allah's mercy that you have been lenient towards them. So the prophets of love and it was sin was lenient with them.
Allah says, had you been cruel or hard hearted? They would have certainly left you they would have run away from you.
And then Allah says, So pardon them, ask Allah's forgiveness for them.
and make sure with them, consult them
in matters and then once you have made a decision after consultation
then put your trust in Allah. Surely Allah loves those who trust.
So Allah is telling Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that your Dawa is based on being lenient and soft,
not being harsh in Word or speech or in your heart.
And here Allah tells us that that is the approach that rasool Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam took
after everything that happened in the Battle of Word,
even though
you know he could have
come down hard on them.
Right? We understand Allah, pardon them. Allah is who he is. But Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
is a human being.
And any human being in such a situation, he's going to become angry, and his anger is going to overtake him. But Allah praises the Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam
for not having acted in that way.
And then Allah tells him to pardon them, meaning these archers who disobeyed him and came down Allah Saint pardon them and ask Allah to forgive them.
So imagine, they suffered because of these archers.
You know, imagine rasool Allah He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is injured because of their mistake.
70 Muslims were killed because of their mistake. And then Allah tells him to party.
Not only that,
below, but Allah also wanted him to ask Allah for forgiveness, for forgiveness for them.
And then Allah says,
What shall we do?
We spoke about surer in the beginning of the battle, right?
And how some of the Muslims, especially the ones who had missed out
in the Battle of whether they were asking the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi wasallam, to go out and fight,
are offered.
And we mentioned how this was not
the view of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself.
His view had actually coincided with the hypocrites, he thought we should stay here in Medina.
But in the end, these companions who wanted to go out to fight, they were insisting,
and we mentioned how the process, he came out in his
armor. And he said, we're going down, we're going out to a hurt
all of this was after what, after the protocols and made sure
after he consulted the Companions, now
post battle.
Many of the Muslims may have thought that this was
the wrong decision.
Maybe we should not have done that.
And so what is Allah told in the Prophet SAW Selim here?
Say no.
consultant.
And so even if
consultation led you to that was that
Allah is saying don't let that to prevent you
from ever making sure again, Shura is the right way to go. And once the decision is made, then we put our trust in
number 11.
Numbers are not a factor
in
deciding
the victory,
or defeat.
And we know about this concerning
which battle
the battle is better. And that's obvious. Right? The Muslims were outnumbered and yet they were victorious. How about the battle
there are some Muslims.
In fact,
some movements that are based on a false hypothesis.
They say
in order for the owner to succeed and be victorious we have to make
Make sure that everyone is on board, meaning the entire
everyone has to be practicing and committed to Islam. And no one should be disobeying Allah and no one should be committing sins. Once we reach that level, then and only then will we be victorious.
They say as long as we have Muslims who are not praying, Muslims who are committing sins, then we are never going to win. And we are never going to win until the Muslims who show up for Fajr prayer in the masjid are equal to the ones who show up for salatu. Juma.
However, this is an incorrect hypothesis.
This doesn't mean
that we don't encourage others and the owner
to return back to the deal. No, that's not what I mean.
What I mean is that there will always be more Muslims who pray and come up for July then
those who show up for Fudger.
And there will always be Muslims, who will be committing sins. And there will always be Muslims who are not fulfilling
their basic obligations. If you are waiting for victory, when all the Muslims are obedient, then that will never happen.
And the proof that this hypothesis is wrong, is the fact that in the Battle of offered what happened
a huge chunk
of the Muslim army defected.
Imagine a third of the army
as they're marching towards
the hypocrites, they withdraw.
The question is
Did that
affect the outcome of the battle of orphaned
meaning
if the munafo Cool had stayed in the army, would the Muslims have been victorious?
answer is no.
And so
their numbers decreasing on the day of oil was not
why they lost on that day.
This was not mentioned in all the areas that we mentioned
in relation to the balance of it, not once it Allah mentioned this as being the reason for their loss, but rather what was the reason
that this will be the disobedience of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
In fact,
Allah tells us about another battle that will happen later on. Which battle was that?
Not
the Battle of your name.
Allah mentions that the Muslims were more in number. This was after the conquest of Mecca.
And now
you know, the Muslims
are increasing in numbers.
And so when the Muslims marched to her name, they were impressed. We have a huge army
our enemy doesn't stand a chance now.
So what does Allah say about that? Allah says it's what the Tobin a continuous what Akuma Allahu Fimo Albina cathedra while young Mahoney in in Hyderabad jaboticaba Castro to confirm to me Hancom che and although Katya and walga, Kota Alikum will be in our alphabet. So now we're led to believe. Allah says Indeed, Allah has given you victory on many battlefields.
And at the Battle of her name, when you took pride in your great numbers,
but they proved of no advantage to you,
the earth despite its vastness seem to close in on you, and then you turn back and retreat.
And so,
since there will always be mafia Kuhn
among us in this OMA
they will never affect the outcome of any battle.
Whether it be
you know, a victory or a defeat.
The outcome is affected by a core group of the Muslims.
and they are apart if I'm not sure.
That saved group, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam has told us in several different Hadith, that there will always be a group from my own
a small group,
they are the core group,
and they will always be victorious
and they will never be harmed by those who criticize them.
And so, if this core group stray,
then yes,
you know, the outcome of the battle
will be affected,
but not
the vast majority of the.
And so, we see this in the Battle of Lyford, it was the core group
when they disobeyed
them, you know, the Muslims, they suffered the loss that they did.
It wasn't
the 300 that left with
from the Lord will be
finally,
if Allah wants to give you victory,
that no power on earth
can stop that from happening.
And so we should fear no one
will give victory to Musa alayhis salam
even though he was fighting for
it so this lesson we learned again, from these verses in Surah Ali Imran so Allah says
in verse 160,
Indian sort of Kamala, who felt our hearty Bella comb, what II don't come from Indian lady on solocom mean bad, while Allah He fell yet our Korean mean, if Allah helps you,
then none can defeat you.
But if he denies you help,
then who else can help you after that?
And so in Allah let the believers put their trust. And so we should rely upon Allah alone.
If we do not rely upon Allah, that he will forsake us. He will forsake us I
will conclude with one last lesson.
And that is obeying Allah
at times of ease as well as
at times of difficulty.
And so one of the characteristics of the munaf yakun in this battle was the refusal to fight in the beginning
because of their fear of death.
But now when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam returned,
and the next morning he said, Let's go chase the enemy.
These hypocrites, they showed up
why because
they thought
there's a good chance of
victory.
We're treating them as you're leaving to Mecca.
So they wanted to join for the sake of the dunya.
So rasool Allah, He Salam and Hillsong refused to allow them to join.
He only allowed those who had participated in the Battle of art.
And so
the Munna Khun, they refuse to submit
when sacrifice was required, but they wanted to,
to join when, when it was easy.
And so when a person follows Islam when
there's something in it for him,
and then turns back
when sacrifices required, then this is a sign of NIFA. It's a sign of hypocrisy. And it applies to many different situations. And this is where we need to check ourselves.
Do we become excited when
a certain Islamic activity has a worldly benefit? But when it becomes demanding and requires sacrifice, we back off.
And that's why he says
that one of the benefits of the battle that offered is to show the real booty of Allah
To show the servitude of Allah
of the companions,
that they are willing to worship Allah in times of ease, as well as in times of difficulty.
So if they are affirmed and steadfast upon their deed in both situations, then this is a sign of their true and Obadiah their true servitude.
That is unlike people who only worship Allah in one condition.
So sometimes people worship Allah when things get tough, or when things are easy.
And then, when things get tough,
they start, they stop.
Or
some people, they only remember Allah in difficult times, and then they forget him.
In easy times,
like, if you lose your job
you're making to add in every dua in every Salut. In every time, when do I is accepted? You're asking what, what Allah give me a job. And then when you get that job you start making.
So this is an example of people who only worship Allah in one state in one condition.
And Allah has told us an example of these people. For example, the moose recall
that when they are stuck in the middle of the ocean, and the waves come down on them, and they think that they're gonna die at once, they put their hands up to Allah, and said, Oh, Allah save us.
And if you save us, we're going to be grateful to you. And then when Allah saves them, and they're now on shore, and they're safe, they go back to their idol worship
as a lot of insurance, also.
And so TechWomen a Nassima. Yeah, but Allah, Allah health
how some people, they only worship Allah in one condition. And then when things get tough, or when things become easy, they change. And so the Battle of our foot shows us
that a sign of Eman is that you are in it in both the thick and the thin, the good times the easy times as well as the tough times. And it is a sign of hypocrisy if you only show your face and you show up when things are easy or in your favor. And so these are, as I said only some of the many many lessons that can be learned from the battle of Orford in sha Allah Montana next week.
We'll move on to
the next events that take place in the seagull in the spirit of the Prophet saw the log and it will say Subhan Allah who will be handed a shadow will learn
best of luck hour to Lake wa sallahu wa salam ala Nabina Muhammad wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salaam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
